Once in a half century Tornado
In the last week of spring in Midland Texas 2024, also described as the West Texas ‘raining season’, in other words, very seldom does it rain in Midland Texas, when it does however, it is an event! This rain storm event however was like none other. Storms are maybe twice a season if lucky, so to have a tornado is very unheard of!
The last time we saw a Tornado of this size (category E3) was in 1965 – 59 years ago.
There were two Tornados that touched down on the tarmac of the Midland International Air and Space Port. There was also extensive damage over the city, hail the size of golf balls and winds up to 165 miles and hour.
Personally we had extensive damage occur to our property, needing a new roof, skylight and window.

So, what does this tell us?
In the bible and from the time of creation, God speaks over that which he creates. In other words, those things that are created by God have breath in them. They are alive in nature, are also subjective to his direction and what He purposes for them.
There are many instances in the bible where God used nature to tell the people something, to warn them or to encourage them that heaven has heard their prayers and petitions, and that His sight has been over them and His ears have listened and heard their prayers.
Whether it was,
- Noah and the flood – cleansing the land of evil and great sin,
- Moses and the Plagues – a hailstorm more devastating than any in all the history of Egypt or the hurricane strong wind that parted the Red Sea,
- Elijah and the Tower of Babel – God bringing down rain in a mighty way to display His power and authority,
- Joshua and the giant hail and sun stopping – In battle the hail killed more Amorite soldiers than by the sword. This same battle records the sun stopped and delayed going down for a day
- Job – A tornado came in from the desert and destroyed his house and family inside
- The city of Sodom and Gomorrah – the city was destroyed by fire and sulfur, because of their wickedness which included rape, child sexual abuse, indecent assault etc.
Everything God does is FIRST BREATHED in the Spirit Realm, the effects are then FELT across the earth.

What is God saying?
When we understand that there is a spiritual, kingdom world around us and that we are created with a spirit, flesh and a soul, it’s easy to understand where God fits into our world.
He is the Lord of turning things that have become toxic, wicked or evil, back to His intended design and purpose of functioning in freedom, by His spirit and through His authority and power.
As Pastor’s who see this spirit realm and who walk by the Spirit, we see this spirit realm operating before our eyes. We have personally dealt with the powers and the principalities of darkness that are around us, in particular those that are operating within the boundaries of Midland. We are very aware and have battled against the witchcraft and covens that are a constant spiritual threat to the churches and moves of the Spirit of God in this city.
Prophetically we have seen that there will be an out pouring of the Spirit of God over the city of Midland. There is an awakening ready to be released where people will operate with the power and the spirit of God, not just the head knowledge of the bible and the religious out workings. There will also be a movement of youth and kids who will operate in strong prophetic gifting’s themselves. Needless to say that city is READY for a mighty move of God!
With such a MIGHTY MOVE comes great and strong resistance by Satan and the powers that operate with him.
The Prophetic Revelation
The tornado is a unique occurrence in the city. Such a unique occurrence is a signal that God is speaking.
- Historically throughout the bible when God brings rain, it is a symbol of cleansing, renewal and a release of His Spirit.
- When God releases wind its for change.
- There is a significant change that will cleanse, bringing renewal and a releasing upon the city spiritually.
- The fact that there were 2 Tornados is a prophetic sign of the spiritual strength incoming – a double portion of spiritual cleansing and releasing that has already begun.
- The tarmac of the Airport is significant because the tarmac represents the foundation or the base that launches this wave of prophetic movement.
- The fact that it touched down at an Airport is prophetically significant because the Airport represents ministry and places where God is exhalted – corporate churches, ministry centres, homes churches, individuals.
- It represents God releasing new mantles upon existing foundations. New mantles of his power and glory to be evident and experienced by many.
Get Ready!
This is a very exciting time spiritually for this city. God has not forgotten about this city. As you pray, begin to seek God as to HOW this releasing will impact you and your sphere of influence.
- Are you positioned where God needs you to be
- Are you in alignment and agreement to being able to receive such a releasing of His Spirit. Maybe you are associated with some who don’t believe or understand the spirit realm. Your alignment is key in this hour.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to show you what needs to be fortified and released. The spirit of the Lord has already begun the separation and the divide. Get ready now to be positioned to receive
- Be Bold – God is needing an army of strong prophetic individuals who are bold and who aren’t afraid to go into battle for Him and who will champion the moves of His Spirit.
If you have felt your spirit get excited as you read this, then know that God will use you and has positioned you ready to be a vessel and a light, that will partner with heaven to see a great spiritual release over this city!
